Tags are similar to categories, but they are generally used to describe your post in more detail. Categories on the other hand are specifically to manage and divide up your content.
Tags are words or phrases used generally to describe or emphasize a post or blog in more detail, depending on what it is about. They can also aide in helping others find your posts or blogs.
Categories are utilized to split up content by subject. A category page will display only for the blog or post in the category you assign, ie “Video Games” or “Roast Beef”.
